Tragedy Ann with Maggie Rigby

Tragedy Ann is a Canadian forward-looking Folk duo. Braiding organic vocal harmonies with organ, accordion, singing saw, and guitars, Tragedy Ann’s arrangements are as delicate as they are driving. Their concerts emanate “…the honesty and enthusiasm of people who can’t help but create and perform.” (Georgian Bay Roots). With their new album Heirlooms, Liv Cazzola and Braden Phelan issue a call for deeper connection with each other and with the natural world. Their album release tour brought them across Canada, Germany, Belgium, Norway, and Italy, performing at such venues as the National Arts Centre, Blue Skies Music Festival, and Egersund Visefestival. 

Maggie Rigby is a singer, songwriter, guitar and banjo player from Castlemaine, Central Victoria, Australia. In the last 10 years she has toured all over the world with her multi-award winning Melbourne folk band, The Maes (formerly The Mae Trio) with her sister Elsie Rigby, playing many of the world’s most prestigious roots music festivals including the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in the US and Edmonton Folk Festival in Canada. Her self-produced, debut EP, Best Love in the Universe is gentle, wintry, complex, catchy, joyful and bold. It features Maggie’s spine-tingling vocals, intricate songwriting as well as exploring her skills on guitar, banjo, marimba and glockenspiel and percussion.
